5 1/2 months old, and sooooo much fun

sticking that tongue out, as usual

marie can sit up now
(under heavy supervision - she's very wobbly)
sometimes we put pillows around her and let her fall over -
it's quite amusing.

okay, so this is the cutest thing i've ever seen.
i love my husband.

this is absolutely her favorite activity -

and it was free! (joel's boss gave it to us)

rolls and rolls and rolls and rolls...

A VERY UNPROFESSIONAL PHOTO SHOOT

Yet even more pics of our Chunky Monkey...

My daddy is funny!

Yo.

Playtime with bunny.

Trying to eat bunny's face.

Woah, this is wobbly!

Mom & Dad get a day away...

Catching a Cubs game. They lost (surprise, surprise).
Dad's a Twins fan, anyway.

Grandma Cindy watched Marie for the day.

We just got these in the mail so I had to post them:

The brothers holding each other's little girls.

Another cute one of the three babes.

Marie getting sucker-punched by Naomi.

A cute one of Ike and his little sis.

MARIE'S LATEST

Getting used to her high chair before starting solids.

Foods now eaten include: rice cereal, squash, peas

and sweet potatoes (in that order).

Check out those legs. She enjoys playing in her
exersaucer in the front yard, too.

Chillin' in her crib. Praise the Lord we have a GREAT sleeper.

The cousins! We got together in Minnesota over
Memorial Day weekend.
Naomi (2/24/06), Isaac (1/01/04),
and Marie (2/17/06)

Dad sporting the Baby Bjorn. We walked to the grocery store last night.

A few more...

A ferocious polar bear.

Another one with mom's favorite hat. Check out the new hairdo!

Grandma Barb teaching MKM how to sit up.

Hugs for Aunt Heidi before bedtime.

Aunt Heidi's and Grandpa and Grandma Meehans' visits...

Okay, so I couldn't figure out how to get this one right-side-up.
Sorry Auntie H! In other news, check out Marie's huge jowls! Eeek!

Do they make Diet Enfamil?

Gr. and Gr. Meehan came to help out while Dad was in San Diego.
I just love this hat for some reason.

For those of you who aren't parents...it is EXTREMELY exciting
when the little tikes start grabbing at things.
This mirror is awesome. She can play with it for an hour solid.
If only we were all so easily entertained.
